First Love is Deadly.
What if your college sweetheart, the girl of your dreams, suddenly disappeared?
Twenty years later she’s back, she’s in trouble and she says you are the only one who can help her . . .
‘Very hard not to read in one sitting.’ Alison Flood, Observer
‘A twisty, sexy, electric thrill ride.’ Dennis Lehane
‘Takes your breath away . . . a plot that twists like a corkscrew.’ Daily Mail
‘A well-plotted, enjoyably twisty debut.’ Sunday Times
The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is a twisty, sexy, electric thrill ride and an absolute blast from start to finish.
As good as they come. A thrilling slice of contemporary noir with twists that you won't see coming.
An edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller that dares you to turn the next page, but it's much more dangerous than that. It dares you to take a hard, long look at people from your past and ask yourself who's worth holding on to and who's worth letting go.
Peter Swanson’s novels include The Girl With a Clock for a Heart, nominated for an LA Times book award, The Kind Worth Killing, a Richard and Judy pick and the iBooks store’s thriller of the year in 2015, and, most recently, Before She Knew Him. He lives with his wife and cat on the north shore of Massachusetts.
